# Advanced Runtime Controls

Advanced runtime controls are in `Live -> Deployments -> Settings -> Show advanced runtime controls`.

Most projects do not need these controls. Misconfiguration can degrade performance.

## Supported Controls

These controls save through the deployment config PATCH route:

- Tick rate.
- Snapshot rate.
- Replication budget.
- Script CPU budget.
- AI actor budget.

Each supported control shows a tooltip, reset action, plan cap, and effect preview where Live can compute one.

## Hookup-Pending Controls

Runtime supports richer runtime-budget primitives, but the deployment-level Live config contract does not expose all of them yet.

The following controls are shown in Advanced with explicit hookup-pending labels:

- Private projection budget.
- Script memory.
- Command rate caps.
- Lag compensation policy.
- Anti-cheat preset.
- Overload behavior.
- Replay storage.
- Placement policy.
- Match queue configuration.

## Dedicated Servers

The dedicated server option appears in Advanced as the Enterprise path for guaranteed capacity and custom caps.
